Motorola Droid Javascript Control.wmv

Using Motorola Droid to visit a javascript page on ilysa.com/car.php. While I apologize for showing it jumping around the screen - I didn't mess with it. So it jumps, but it shows the potential for robotic control via simple javascript commands embedded in a web page. So would a Droid make a good Central Robot Control potential?

You'd have to develop an app, but it does seem possible. Can you use all the available powers of the Droid to directly drive a motor controlled base via the serial port? Answer is most likely YES.

Can you create a segway-like two wheeled bot that depends on the built in compass, GPS, and camera and accelerometer to make the robot work? I dunno the answer yet, but it's gonna be my next robot project to find out!
